I really like the mondials. These are the 700c x 47, but to my eye (haven't measured) they seem narrower than the 700c x 45 bitumens that came with the bike. I've been riding these mondials for a couple years, I think. I don't put in that many miles, but they have barely worn. I get flats with

Very nice Patrick. I like the way your Joe is evolving. I'm seeing a lot of smart and fun touches. Zip tie-ing the saddle security to the seat post. Fun pink tape-ing the basket to the rack. The Chocomoose bar design always struck me as somewhat "Jonesy". Not surprised to see one show up on an

Super beautiful build. I haven't been paying as close attention to the new Riv bikes as perhaps I should. That looks great; cockpit, color, basket. The whole brisket. Philip www.biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Bill, Great. Congrats! How are you liking the way the saddlebag attaches to the rear of the saddle? I've been curious about those saddles that are not Brooks, but saddlebag loops of some kind are a requirement for me. -James On Mar 6, 2016, at 5:06 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I picked up
